Selah & Zion and the First Covering (The Selah & Zion Chronicles Book 1)

What do you do when "I'm sorry" doesn't make the heavy feeling go away?Seven-year-old Zion didn't mean to break it. But she did. And now the pieces are hidden under the rug, and a tight, itchy feeling has crawled up inside her that won't let go.Her big sister Selah knows the truth always comes out. Zion just wants the heaviness to stop. And in the quiet of the woods behind their Bethel Creek home, she finally asks it out loud: If God forgives us, why does sin still hurt?Before Selah can answer, a glowing Monarch butterfly named Judah appears with five whispered words: "Come and See. Follow Me." And an old wooden gate in a forgotten stone wall hums open onto a world neither sister has ever seen.There, at the edge of the very first garden, the girls watch two people try to fix their own mistake with stitched-together leaves… and fail. And they witness the first time in all of history that God did not shout, did not shame, and did not turn away. He provided. He covered what they could not fix themselves.Zion goes home changed. Not because the broken pieces are whole again, but because she finally understands she never has to hide.Selah & Zion and the First Covering is the first book in a 24-book Christian adventure series that takes the heavy, beautiful truths of the Bible (grace, atonement, covering) and makes them small enough for a child to hold, and large enough to carry for a lifetime.The journey unfolds across four seasons: The Foundations · The Heart of the Matter · The Light Approaches · The Victory and the Flame — from the first garden all the way to the gates of the City.
